Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE), a global specialty materials and chemical company, today announced global price increases for liquid crystal polymer (LCP) products.

The adjustment responds to continued demand strength for LCP, increases in feedstock and raw material costs, disruptions in key raw material supply chains and ongoing logistics constraints.
